I wonder what ATLUS has in store for the SMT series. We have SMT 4, Break Record, and SMT x FE in the upcoming future.

I'm thinking that they'll remake one of the older SMT games using the 3DS Etrian Odyssey engine. Either the first two SMT games, or Strange Journey.

They also have the SMT 4 engine to work with, so expect some 3DS original spin-offs in the future (like DDS after Nocturne). ATLUS is known for pumping out a lot of sequels once they have an engine and assets to work with. Strange Journey probably wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for the Etrian Odyssey engine it was made with, for example.

Persona 3 may be rereleased for a third time since there's movies. It would probably be for the Vita, though it wouldn't surprise me if an updated version of P3P arrived on the 3DS.

Devil Survivor 3 is just as inevitable as Persona 5. In fact, I am absolutely certain that we'll get DeSu3 before P5. I'm expecting an announcement sometime this year, or next year at the latest. It'll be for the 3DS and will have a lot more content than past DeSu games, but the graphics will still be just as lazy.

Isn't there still an unspecified persona game still announced for 3DS? Perhaps that might use the SMT 4 engine. I just hope it doesn't end up being a remake of Persona 3, all the rereleases are wearing a bit thin and we already got 3 different Persona 3 releases in the west.

Also I am a bit surprised Devil Survivor is apprently doing so well. The first game seemed to be ignored when it came out. (in the U.S. anyway, it probably did well in Japan)

Wow has it been awhile since I've posted in this thread. TBH, I think it might be interesting if they made something like a Shin Megami Tensei version of Project X-Zone. .....Except with Persona-style combat, of course. ....Lol, I can almost see it now how Midori would react to some of the other, non-Devil-Survivor-present Personae.... (ESPECIALLY the one that looks like a p*** chariot.)

Live from Japan, displayed on a large TV screen. Atlus is doing a big event for this announcement and is planning to use many large TV screens near train stations to display their announcement at 8:00 pm, November 24th. (in about 9 hours.)

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labryinth' (ペルソナQ シャドウ オブ ザ ラビリンス) is a crossover RPG between Persona 3 and Persona 4 on the 3DS. The graphic user interface in battle and the deformed character redesign appears to be done by the development team of Etrian Odyssey series.

This story continues after the events in Persona 4 Arena. A few days after P4A, a new tournament pops up on the Midnight Channel called the P-1 Climax. A bizarre red fog covers the streets of Inaba and an image of a figure that looks like Mitsuru, Aigis and Akihiko being crucified is shown on TV. The Shadow Operatives and the Investigation Team work together to figure out what’s going on behind the new tournament.

A special program was streamed by Atlus on November 24, 2013. After the announcements for Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth and Persona 4: Dancing All Night, a countdown appeared starting from 55:555 followed by a teaser trailed in red, showing 5 chairs with a chain bound to each one. The text shown was 'You are slave. Want emancipation?'.

Afterwards, the release date was shown along with the platform it will get released on, Winter 2014 on PlayStation 3.

More excited for Q than 5 actually. Maybe because Q is sooner and we actually know something about it.

I don't find it odd. It was obviously in VERY early development and had no chance of coming out till 2014 (which is the year nintendo said they will veer more away from the casual games and focus on games like X, Bayonetta 2, and smash bros).

Hm on persona Q.. I not sure what to think, on the one hand I love a new rpg to come to the 3ds, on the other I'm not sure why the persona 3 main is alive.

Hm on the new persona fighting game, well loved the last one, hope this one is just as good. edit though I do wonder why takaba is wearing a pink power ranger costume... maybe the theory of personas eventually give you insane fasion sensabilites are not that far off.

Persona dance thing....okay I thinking that's something ameria is not getting....actually I hope we get any of these games in america.

I'm really glad that Persona 5 seems to be going in a dark direction. I love Persona 4, but it's basically Scooby Doo with murders, and it's nice to see the series go back to the mood that was in the earlier games.

I just ordered Persona 4 Arena, so I could play at least another one of the 4, but I have little interest in the dancing game

I hope the rest of us get most of those games soon after they're released in Japan, like they've been doing recently with Atlus games

I think they were doing some sort of set up in Persona 4. They introduced us to the Shadow World, which could be bigger than it seems. But I could totally wrong. But it was nice seeing a light hearted SMT game in general. We don't have a lot of those.

And it seems to be going to a darker side again at least, if you just look at the colors of 3-5

3-had mostly a dark blue/dark green theme, rather dark, right?

4-yellow, really bright themes and stuff, right? A lot of hope as a result, right?

5- So far red, crimson to be exact, right? Crimson=blood, seems to be pointing to dark, too.

And then the slavery theme, which looks to be really interesting, since we don't see a lot of that in games.

Spoiler:- spoilerish speculation:

It seems from some of the articles the SEES were brought to the P4 highschool while they were fighting in Tartarus. But 4 happens after 3 so they travel through time it seems. So it's a side story in the middle of both games.
